About this work

This print shows a pale face in the center, surrounded by a wild ring of flowers and leaves. The colors are bright—reds, yellows, and greens—with some dark shadows mixed in. The face looks smooth and simple, while the border is messy, almost like vines tangled together. The artist used a mix of printing methods to create texture, including raised lines that add depth. This piece is part of a bigger set of prints made in 1973. Look up lithography next to see how it works.
